September Currently

9/1/2014

Hi everyone, it's Becky! I'm linking up with Farley from Oh' Boy 4th Grade! So here it is! 
Picture
Listening: We cloth diaper, so we do diaper wash pretty frequently. Now that Urban is potty training and only wearing diapers at naptime and bedtime (PTL!), we wash diapers every 3 days. Cloth diapering was undoubtedly one of the best parenting decisions we've made.  It was better for our boys (no chemical rashes), our wallets, and mother nature (disposable diapers take 500 years to decompose in a landfill!). Our favorite diapers are Bumgenius 4.0's with snaps.
Picture
Loving: Grayson has been having a hard time getting comfortable at bedtime and falling asleep. So we went to the store to look for just a regular pillow to put a pillowcase on, when low and behold we found "the one!" Of course the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would help him sleep better! I just had to take a picture and send it to Greg! Doesn't he look so happy?!
Picture
Thinking: So in addition to our TMNT obsession, Grayson loves Transformer's Rescue Bots. (For those of you not familiar with these guys, they are a more kid-friendly version of Transformers with a civil services in mind) Gray's favorite character is Heatwave, a Firetruck transformer, and wants to be this guy for Halloween. So when he saw this picture on Pinterest, we knew we had our work cut out for us!
Picture
Wanting: It never fails that one or both of the boys are sick at the beginning of the school year.  This year, it was Urban's turn. On Thursday he was sent home with what we thought was just a cold. After his nap, he was wheezing, so we took him into the doctors. He was diagnosed with cold-induced asthma. Since we have gone through this with Gray, it wasn't anything new, but you still hate seeing your little ones sick. Here he is doing his "dragon" (nebulizer). We're hoping this week will be uneventful and healthy for both boys!
Picture
Needing: Since Urban was sick, he was also on Prednisone this weekend. If you've never seen a toddler on that stuff, then you are lucky! They become little crazy monsters (even more than they already are)! So, I could use a little more time to get all of my projects completed!

3 Trips: The first two are places we've always wanted to go.  I added the swimming with sharks for Greg. I am not a fan of this, nor do I really want him to swim with sharks, for fear that the shark would somehow get through the cage bars and gobble him up! So we'll see if that one ever gets crossed off!

Well that's all for now! I hope everyone has a great first week of September!
~Becky

I love that you are both teachers. <3 My husband was going to be a teacher, too, but then decided his heart was in ministry. Swimming with the sharks sounds AWESOME but I'm with you, I don't think I would ever be able to do it!!

Hey, Becky! Love your blog and glad I found it through the September Currently! Guess what?!?! My son's name is Grayson and we call him Gray, too! The TMNT (total flashback) pillow is so cute and I'm totally bookmarking the Transformer costume for when {my} Gray is a bit older. Sorry to hear Urban is sick...fingers crossed for a fast recovery. Hugs!

Hi Lindsey! That is so neat that you have a Gray too! I had wanted a name that we could shorten, and we both fell in love with Grayson! I think it is becoming more popular! Glad we have found each other! Hope to catch up with you again soon!

If you're talking about swimming with Reef Sharks - I've done that - exciting but not very dangerous. Great White sharks - not my style though.
I found you through Farley's link up. You have a great looking blog BTW

Sure is this is an outdated piece of content I wonder how or what it's like to outgrown that experience using cloth vs disposable diapers.
